Does your firm open to salary negotiations? If you get a better compensation offer, will you give your company the chance to match it or no?

No. We’re all replaceable at the junior level and if you’ve gotten an offer somewhere else, they will probably just tell you to leave unless you were an all star and they want to retain you. But it will sour their relationship with you knowing that you were recruiting behind their backs. Coming from JPM

Appreciate your feedback. That’s one of my fear is to sour the relationship if I stay afterwards.

If I got a better paying offer, I would for sure give my company the option to counter. I'm not sure that they would, but literally the only complaint I have about my job is that I don't feel like I'm getting paid well enough. So if that problem were solved, I would be totally happy here

I am definitely in the same situation here. I enjoy working for my MD and the team is great. But below average pay if I’m being honest.

About the only time the purse string holders are open to discussing an employee's salary is when another company makes a higher salary offer. Just popping in and saying, "I think I deserve a raise" yields responses like, "People in Hell think they'd like a glass of cold water." The thing is, this company is very competitive. It puts winning above all else. If they think someone else wants you, they will be double-dog-damned if they are going to let that SOB win. Of course, you need to have proof of the offer before you start playing this game.

Yes, I am waiting on the letter. Should be today. The verbal offer was pretty solid.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

I’m 1.5 years out of college as an analyst at a middle market bank within the healthcare M&A group. Getting worked a lot but starting to operate as an associate on deals. Debating accepting an offer for a newer, lower-MM healthcare and growth focused PE firm. I know I want to go to PE at some point, but what are some thoughts on when you should go?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
